Camera on tripod? 10 seconds
Mirror to let me look at the LCD while I pose? 15 seconds
Enable remote control? 5 seconds
Fight the camera's tendency to go for very high ISO even when using flash? a long miserable hour.

This was the start of the end of my short ownership experience with the Nikon 1 system.

This is the business end of a Celestron USB microscope. I didn't expect this shot to be such a pain in the ass, but at the same time it was fun and forced me to make some weird choices. For example, using the 10-30VR instead of the 10mm prime (I needed LESS light, so I had to pick the worse of the two lenses), switching to Aperture priority instead of P, things like that.

I was *this* close to shooting this one in black and white as a means to protest today's topic.
